Luke 1:37
For nothing is impossible with God.
I believe in a God of miracles. Do you?
In Psalm 77, David praises God for the miracles He performs among creation & among the people. Recently, I have seen God perform some miraculous things throughout my family.
Over the Thanksgiving & Christmas holidays, my grandmother (mom's mom) was in the hospital with double pneumonia &, 3 weeks later, suffered a stroke. This time was especially difficult because we didn't know from a day to day basis how my grandma's body would heal or if it was just going to get worse. But He is faithful. He blessed my family with a peace & joy that was inexpressible.
Throughout my 19 years of life, my grandma has been bound by strongholds & every day my family has prayed & prayed that God would release her of these chains. Some days were very discouraging as we found ourselves asking God, "Why not now, why not just do it now? You say You are a powerful God, show us!" but it wasn't time yet. In His will, He would free her. In His timing alone, He would free her.
My grandma has been one of my close & dear friends throughout my life. Growing up I remember staying up till 4 in the morning with her & my sister as we played rummy, watched movies, & talked about life. My sister & I would go to her house for a week at a time just to spend time with her & my grandpa. She impacted my life in ways unimaginable, made me think outside the box regarding who God was. She would talk to me for hours on end about what it's going to be like when Jesus came back. How we would dance & sing for Him & we would never be bored or sad or hurting, she always reminded me that nothing was impossible for Him, there was nothing that He could not do.
I am very joyful to say that I have seen Him perform a miracle in her life this past month. He has released her from the strongholds that have held her for so long. When my family & I went to visit her last week, I couldn't help but cry as we prayed over her body asking that God would heal it. He answered my prayers for her in so many ways.
God can do mighty & powerful things, & I can't help but think, "If He can do this, then He can do anything!"
Please continue to pray for my grandma as she is going through rehab to regain muscle strength on her left side as well as continued healing for her dear sweet soul. Also, please join me in praising our amazing God & Father for performing such a beautiful miracle!
